I've gots me an idea...

The Offspring should write/release a song about the election. Who do you think they support? Ralph Nader, I would guess. Wouldn't it be awesome to be fans of a band who were (A.) politically active, (B.) explicit in their political activism, and (C.) not named Anti-Flag? Wouldn't it?

^What he said. Those two songs are about as explicit as I'd like them to get in their music. It would be sort of cool if they were a bit more outspoken outside of music, but I'm not really too bothered either way. Overly political bands come across as self-righteous and douchey if they go on and on with it. I'm sure you guys can think of some examples.

Well, Dexter is an Republican, and Noodles is a Democrat. Since Dexter writes all the music, I guess it would be a pro-Romney song. At least a pro-Republican song. Neocon motherfucker!

What he said!! ^^^^ Well said! I think there's a fine line. Become too outspoken & you risk losing fan base. Or coming off as douchebags.

Wait, are you serious that Dexter is a republican? I guess I never thought about what side they are on because I hate American politics. I watch Science Channel and NatGeo instead of the debates.

I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.https://twitter.com/PeteParada/statu...56317329436672

I'm about as non politically interested as they come, so I don't mind in the slightest that they aren't constantly expressing their political stances.

I'm not religious, either, but...AMEN!
